  • One of the many local versions of the word peace in Sardu.

  • It's interesing that the Sardinians have so many words for peace. Are they particularly peaceful?

  • You know, I listed just the ones that derive from Latin pax, but there are many others (avveniu, assentu, asseliu, sussegu, assussegu, arresettu, risettu...).

    One of my favorite Sardinian sayings, nonetheless, is

    Keep your hatred. One day you'll have a chance to take revenge.

  • So... Pro ... You really would have us believe that what are obviously words for 'avenue', 'sausage', and 'risotto' really mean 'peace'.

    Hmmm.

    And, of course, sardine = peacenik. :-)
